Stronger
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
You know my mind starts to wander
Standing here alone
You know I dream in color
And do the things I want
Think you got the best of me
Think you had the last laugh
Bet you think that everything good is gone
Think you left me broken down
Think that I'd come running back
Baby you don't know me
'Cause you're dead wrong
What doesn't kill you makes you stronger
Stand a little taller
Doesn't mean I'm lonely
When I'm alone
What doesn't kill you makes a fighter
Footsteps even lighter
Doesn't mean I'm over
'Cause you're gone
What doesn't kill you makes you stronger
Stronger
Just me, myself, and I
What doesn't kill you makes you stronger
Stand a little taller
Doesn't mean I'm lonely
When I'm alone
You heard that I was starting over
With something new
But told you I was moving on
I'm over you, yeah
You didn't think that I'd come back
I'd come back swinging
You tried to break me
But you see
What doesn't kill you makes you stronger
Stand a little taller
Doesn't mean I'm lonely
When I'm alone
What doesn't kill you makes a fighter
Footsteps even lighter
Doesn't mean I'm over
'Cause you're gone
What doesn't kill you makes you stronger
Stronger
Just me, myself, and I
What doesn't kill you makes you stronger
Stand a little taller
Doesn't mean I'm lonely
When I'm alone
Thanks to you I got a new thing started
Thanks to you I'm not the broken-hearted
Thanks to you I'm finally thinking 'bout me
You know in the end the day you left
Was just my beginning
In the end
What doesn't kill you makes you stronger (stronger, yeah)
Stand a little taller
Doesn't mean I'm lonely
When I'm alone (doesn't mean I'm alone)
What doesn't kill you makes a fighter (fighter)
Footsteps even lighter (lighter)
Doesn't mean I'm over
'Cause you're gone (because you're gone)
What doesn't kill you makes you stronger (hey)
Stronger
Just me, myself, and I
(Just me, myself, and I)
What doesn't kill you makes you stronger (hey)
Stand a little taller
Doesn't mean I'm lonely
When I'm alone
What doesn't kill you makes you stronger
Stronger
Just me, myself, and I
What doesn't kill you makes you stronger
Stand a little taller
Doesn't mean I'm lonely
When I'm alone (when I'm Alone)
When I'm alone
